Low CI (east) With Initial Activity

Looking at the CI product from GOES-E and it appears to have a marginal handle on the CI ongoing over western KY at the moment. In the loop below the values before CI only reached 45% before a 35 dbz echo was detected by radar. In the last frame of the loop there is a 64% noted within the line of CU, though this has not developed on radar. It will be interesting to see if there is soon higher reflectivitiese in this area.
